We use the following types of cookies on our website:
Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary to provide you with requested services on our website.

Hybristar uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the platform. The information generated by the Google Analytics cookie about your use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, an anonymized recording of IP addresses (so-called IP masking ) is carried out on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened beforehand within the EU member states or other member states of the European Economic Area.
The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data stored by Google. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the Google Analytics cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .
